Dynamics and variability of transcriptomic dysregulation in congenital myotonic dystrophy during childhood development

ABSTRACT: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy caused by expansion of a CTG repeat microsatellite within DMPK. In 10-20% of individuals with DM1, symptomatic onset begins at birth; these patients are classified as congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM). While dysregulation of RNA metabolism, specifically alternative splicing, has been linked to disease pathology in adult-onset DM1, little is known about the mechanism of CDM. Biopsies from individuals (CDM), age range 0.04-16 years, were subjected to total RNA-seq to quantify the transcriptomic dysregulation throughout pediatric development. To achieve this, they were compared against age matched pediatric controls which revealed a triphasic pattern of dysregulation not before seen observed in CDM. CDM samples were also compared to adult-onset (DM1) individuals which showcased a shared disease signature to seen in all individuals with myotonic dystrophy irrespective of disease age of onset.

Effect of the CTG repeat expansion on RNA splicing in children with congenital myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy type-1 (DM1). In adult DM1, dysregulation of alternative splicing of many transcripts results in the disease pathology. In CDM, the degree of aberrant splicing is not known, nor is it understood which transcripts are altered. Muscle biopsies were obtained from children with CDM, adults with DM1, healthy adult controls, and pathologically normal pediatric muscle. RNA was isolated and paired-end RNA-Seq was performed. Analysis used MAJIQ to generate percent spliced in (PSI) values. Sample sets were analyzed with Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to identify splicing patterns. 11 muscle biopsies from children with CDM (age 2 month-16 years), 9 pediatric controls (age 1 month-13 years), 16 adult DM1 patients (ages 29-57), and 6 adult healthy controls (ages 19-28) were used for analysis. MAJIQ identified 2266 splicing events with adequate read depth and a PSI>0.15. WGCNA identified 4 patterns of splicing. The majority of the splicing events were the same in cases of CDM and DM1, while a subset of splicing changes were unique to CDM, many (e.g., PALLD) specific to development. The relative expression of RNA splicing factors with age may account for differences in the splicing patterns in CDM and DM1. Children with CDM have the RNA splicing events previously identified in adults with DM1, despite a divergent phenotype. There are also a minority of splicing events that are specific to CDM, largely related to transcripts regulating development.

Disrupted prenatal RNA processing and myogenesis in congenital myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a CTG microsatellite expansion (CTGexp) disorder caused by expression of CUGexp RNAs. These mutant RNAs alter the activities of RNA processing factors, including MBNL proteins, leading to reversion to specific fetal isoforms in adult tissues and DM1 pathology. While this pathogenesis model accounts for adult-onset disease, the molecular basis of congenital DM (CDM) is unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that disruption of developmentally regulated RNA alternative processing pathways contributes to CDM disease. Analysis of alternative splicing (AS) transitions during human myogenesis reveals hundreds of AS events that undergo prenatal isoform transitions and both AS and alternative polyadenylation abnormalities are prominently detectable in infant CDM muscle biopsies. While the majority of RNA targets are also mis-regulated in adult-onset DM1, splicing dysregulation is significantly more severe in CDM. Since many of these mis-processing events are MBNL-regulated, we generated mouse Mbnl double (Mbnl1; Mbnl2) and triple (Mbnl1; Mbnl2; Mbnl3) muscle-specific knockout models that recapitulate the congenital myopathy, gene expression and spliceopathy defects characteristic of CDM. This study demonstrates RNA mis-processing is a major pathogenic factor in CDM and provides novel mouse models to further examine roles for co/post-transcriptional gene regulation during tissue development.

Periostin as a blood biomarker of muscle cell fibrosis, cardiomyopathy and disease severity in myotonic dystrophy type 1

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy and is caused by an repeat expansion [r(CUG)exp] located in the 3' untranslated region of the DMPK gene. Symptoms include skeletal and cardiac muscle dysfunction and fibrosis. In DM1, there is a lack of established biomarkers in routine clinical practice. Thus, we aimed to identify a blood biomarker with relevance for DM1-pathophysiology and clinical presentation.

Recovery in the intrinsic myogenic program of congenital myotonic dystrophy myoblasts after excision of the expanded (CTG)n repeat

Project description:The congenital form of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (cDM) is caused by large-scale expansion of a (CTG•CAG)n repeat in DMPK and DM1-AS. Production of toxic transcripts with long trinucleotide tracts from these genes results in impediment of myogenic differentiation capacity as cDM’s most prominent morpho-phenotypic hallmark. In the current in vitro study, we compared the early differentiation programs of isogenic cDM myoblasts with and without a (CTG)2600 repeat obtained by gene editing. We found that excision of the repeat restored the ability of cDM myoblasts to engage in myogenic fusion, preventing that the ensuing myotubes remained immature. Although the cDM-typical epigenetic status of the DM1 locus and the expression of genes therein were not altered upon removal of the repeat, analyses at the transcriptome and proteome level revealed that early abnormalities in the temporal expression of differentiation regulators, myogenic progression markers and alternative splicing patterns before and immediately after the onset of differentiation became normalized. Our observation that molecular and cellular features of cDM are reversible and can be corrected by repeat-directed genome editing in muscle progenitors is important information for future development of gene therapy for different forms of DM1.

Individual transcriptomic response to strength-training for myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, is caused by a CTG expansion resulting in significant transcriptomic dysregulation that leads to muscle weakness and wasting. While strength training is clinically beneficial in DM1, molecular effects had not been studied. To determine whether training rescued transcriptomic defects, RNA-sequencing was performed on vastus lateralis samples from nine male DM1 patients before and after a 12-week strength training program and six male controls who did not undergo training. Differential gene expression and alternative splicing analysis were correlated with the one-repetition maximum strength evaluation method (leg extension, leg press, hip abduction, and squat). While training program-induced improvements in splicing were similar among most individuals, rescued splicing events varied considerably between individuals. Gene expression improvements were highly varied between individuals with the percentage of differentially expressed genes rescued after training strongly correlated with strength improvements. Evaluating transcriptome changes individually revealed responses to the training not evident from grouped analysis, likely due to disease heterogeneity and individual exercise response differences. Our analyses indicate that transcriptomic changes are associated with clinical outcomes in DM1 patients undergoing training and these changes are often specific to the individual and should be analyzed accordingly.

Distinct Pathological Signatures in Human Cellular Models of Myotonic Dystrophy Subtypes

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the most common autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy and encompasses both skeletal muscle and cardiac complications. Myotonic dystrophy is nucleotide repeat expansion disorder in which type 1 (DM1) is due to a trinucleotide repeat expansion on chromosome 19 and type 2 (DM2) arises from a tetranucleotide repeat expansion on chromosome 3. Developing representative models of myotonic dystrophy in animals has been challenging due to instability of nucleotide repeat expansions, especially for DM2 which is characterized by nucleotide repeat expansions often greater than 5000 copies. To investigate mechanisms of human DM, we generated cellular models of DM1 and DM2. We used regulated MyoD expression to reprogram urine-derived cells into myotubes. In this cell model, we found impaired dystrophin expression, MBNL foci, and aberrant splicing in DM1 but not in DM2 cells. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from healthy controls, DM1 and DM2 subjects and differentiated these into cardiomyocytes. DM1 and DM2 cells displayed an increase in RNA foci concomitant with cellular differentiation. IPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from DM1 but not DM2 had aberrant splicing and MBNL sequestration. High resolution imaging revealed tight association between MBNL clusters and RNA FISH foci in DM1. Ca2+ transients differed between DM1 and DM2 IPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and from healthy control cells. RNA-sequencing from DM1 and DM2 iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes both altered gene expression as well as distinct splicing patterns as differential between DM1 and DM2. Together these data support that DM1 and DM2, despite some shared clinical and molecular features, have distinct pathological signatures.

Comparative analysis of Mbl attenuation and CUG non-coding repeats expression in Drosophila larval muscles

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuro-muscular disorder caused by CTG triplet expansion in the 3-UTR of the DMPK gene. Mutated transcripts aggregate in muscle nuclei and sequester the MBNL1 splicing factor. To assess the involvement of Mbl sequestration on transcriptpion deregulation in DM1, we performed genome wide analyses of gene expression of DM1 Drosophila model in three different genetic contexts: Mef>mblRNAi, Mef>600CTG, Mef>960CTG vs. Mef>lacZ control line.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) leads to altered mRNA expression in heart tissue

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a dominantly inherited disease that affects multiple organ systems. Cardiac dysfunction is the second leading cause of death in DM1. We quantified gene expression in heart tissue from a heart-specific DM1 mouse model (EpA960/MCM) which inducibly expresses human DMPK exon 15 containing 960 CUG expanded repeats and that reproduced Celf1 up regulation. To assess if, in addition to splicing and miRNA defects, CUGexp RNA also perturbed the steady state mRNA levels of genes, we carried out a microarray study on wildtype E14, adult, MCM controls and DM1 mouse hearts. As anticipated we noted a large number of genes to be developmentally regulated in wildtype hearts, however, within 72h of induction of CUGexp RNA there appeared to be a coordinate adult-to-embryonic shift in steady state levels of many genes. We identified transcripts over-expressed or under-expressed in hearts of wildtype adult mice, wildtype embryonic day 14 (E14), and DM1 mice induced to express CUGexp RNA for 72h and 1wk, when compared to MCM controls. Multiple group comparison.

Cell type-specific gene expression profiles in CNS of patients with DM1

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystem genetic disorder involving the muscle, heart, and central nervous system (CNS). The pathogenesis of CNS symptoms prevalent in patients with DM1 remains unelucidated. To elucidate the CNS pathogenesis in DM1, we investigated cell type-specific abnormalities in cortical neurons, white matter glial cells, and spinal motor neurons of patients with DM1 via laser-capture microdissection(LCM).
